Just to add to this, Kai, if I may:
install VideoDownloader, which is an Extention for Firefox, and when on YouTube, for example, select the video to play then as it starts to download to your system PAUSE the transfer/play; run VideoDownloader and it will download the video file to your selected directory as a file called "get_video"; RENAME this file to whatever you want BUT make sure that you give it an extension of ".flv". AMAROK will quite happily play this *.flv file as AUDIO only - no video (but who really cares?). (There is a Windows conversion app. for VideoDownloader to convert the *.flv files to have them replay as videos - Linux misses out :-( .)
Just play those .flv files with MPlayer (video+sound)..
